What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
The constant, relentless focus on pregnancy, babies, gear, weight gain, and labor just grates on my nerves.
Sometimes I just want a break and to chat with other women about literally anything else... gossip😁, makeup, fashion, travel, whatever... But since I've been pregnant, it feels like everyone thinks my entire identity has shifted to just "pregnant lady." Like they assume nothing else matters to me anymore, which is 😵
Just because I'm expecting doesn't mean I've lost interest in everything else—like talking about the fallout from the latest celebrity breakup or economic crisis😁
Also, it drives me crazy when random older ladies I don't even know reach out and grab my stomach without asking, peppering me with intrusive questions like I'm their own granddaughter🤦
Or when people assume I'm some pregnant teenager just because I look younger than I actually am🤣
